Well, whatever she had seems to have cleared up. I tried the epsom salts and as of today, she's doing swimmingly lol. Thanks everyone for your help :)

Hi all! A friend of mine is having me watch over her 4 bettas while she's out of town for a little less than 2 weeks. She came over to set up their tanks and all were ok except the one she brought today after he jumped from the net after acclimation and landed on the ridge of the tank cover...

I thought about her maybe being filled with eggs but I wasn't sure how long that would last, nor do I know how that affects behavior.
